Although we preferred the original proposal, the new location is still extremely relevant as it was an area suffered extreme wartime destruction during the raids of the 7th/8th and 8th/9th May 1941.City Centre works pushed that back until autumn 2017.

While our original plan was to unveil the memorial in 2015, this became impossible, as outlined above. We ended up settling on an autumn 2017 date, but no ... the people of Hull have asked us to put the memorial on hold until 2018 as 2017 is a year of celebration for The City, 2018 is a year for commemoration.

Currently, we are thinking of making it 8th, but we shall see as, ultimately, it is up to the people when The People's Memorial is unveiled.
